If I ever got face-to-face with that POS Obama, the first thing I’d keep saying to myself is that he’s an effing Muslim. That’s all I need to know.

I think that this is Trump stringing obama along, in an attempt to keep obama from going full tilt scorched earth in his last days as _resident.
We’re not out of the woods until January 21st. Obama can wreak havoc until then.

This a$$hole went off the deep end when his wife bulldozed a tree while ‘skiing’. The tree won.

Obama says “he’s good” then Trump crosses him off his list
To: Pinkbell
Oh noes! He talked to Obama! Trump's a turncoat!
This insane overreaction brought to you by the makers of Thorazine suppositories...

Really? Then he can take his “a$$hole” self to the EPA to take them apart.
To: Gaffer
Disregard last post LoL. Wrong thread and wrong guy.
Yeah, Neeson is an ass.
To: Pinkbell
That’s fine. Six more weeks of kissing up so our Terrorist in Chief doesn’t do something irreparable.

Obama said ‘A cabinet? What’s that? I just have Valerie.’

Trump is interviewing RINOs like Romney. He says he's consulting with Obama regularly. He says he is going to "work something out" for selected illegal immigrants (I refuse to give them the spin-tested "dreamers" label). What gives, did he play us for fools?
In such situations I like to apply a little mental game: assume Trump isn't stupid, isn't flip flopping, and has a strategic purpose to all he says and does. If that's the case, what all of the above?
Here's what I came up with:
- There are stupid safety pin wearing snowflakes all around the nation, hyperventilating that Trump is going to nuke everyone. Stating that he is in regular conversation with Obama gives those snowflakes a reason to calm down down a tad. He looks like he's seeking alternate points of view, even if so far not one of his cabinet appointments appears to be someone Obama would have wanted or approved of. In other words, it's a symbolic gesture to those who are upset, a way to appear magnanimous.
- Including Romney in the interview process is a nod to the RINO wing, especially Romney-bots line Ryan. Doesn't have to hire him, has to look like he's open to working with them and again, it's purely symbolic and is planned to help him get the congressional RINOs in line.
- "Working something out" regarding illegals who came here as minors: he said this same thing during the campaign to Hannity. Hence he won't be flip flopping if he does it. I don't think this one is symbolic. I think he has compassion for them because in most cases it was their parents decision to break the law, not their own. A concession (maybe a special visa program?) for these few will soften the hammer he brings down on the majority that he's going to ouster.
/end of thought experiment.

My theory (and it is mine) is that Trump is making nice with Obama until Jan 21, then he can arrest him.

Actually, he said there was one pick Obama liked, and I would bet that is the pick. Mattis seems to be liked on both sides of the aisle.
